£650 today is £30 more than the 980Ti G1, which is currently the fastest card you can buy, I have a feeling I'm going to be too slow, if that's the case, I'll get a G1.

Why not wait 2 weeks and get it for £550!

The problem is that OCUK will be on a promise to sell them at a certain price initially to convince AMD to hand over the first batch to them. This will be based on OCUK counting on people paying the hefty price.

Of note also, AMD will not be seeing any of the RRP difference to how much they are sold for. So essentially it is just greed.

Having said that, if the 980 Ti is faster...thanks for the £499.99 deal...that was me being greedy not the other way round!

It would be interesting to know how OCUK judge how much to sell for initially. Most people I have spoken to, will wait for 2-4 weeks for the price to settle down.

Would people bite at £700+ I doubt it, even at £650 not sure they will if in a week or two it can be had for £100 cheaper!

If people pay over £650 for it when it's on par with the 980 Ti which can be had for £539 then I've lost faith in humanities common sense

hmmm those numbers dont impress me if it only OCs to 1140.....

Who wants to wait 2 weeks for a card to turn up? I don't, hence I'll make my decision and see what happens.

Right so the TX is £1000 and you want a FuryX with an AIO to beat it at £650!

Which planet are you on?

If the FuryX beats the 980 Ti I am getting one just because if it beats it in DX11 it will whoop the TitanX in DX12!

I think you misread my post?

That's what I was saying, for the price it's coming in at it's silly to expect it to smash the TX, it's what I wanted but as said this was just a selfish reason for wanting something better.

The main question is how many of them buying it at £650 will be using it. I suspect a to will be on eBay in a day or two for £750+!! It's the iPhone saga all over again!

Was that simply run on W10 or was it patched in Windows 10 ?

As in can I run Windows 10 right now and expect similar performance gains or was it a dev build ?

Or you could check other retailers. They don't all adopt the same practices of price increasing.

Yeah gotta say OCUK is pretty bad for this price gouging rubbish.

Problem is ocuk is one of the biggest players in the pc market. Which quite often mean they have stock (or more stock) when other etailers dont.

If ocuk only have 30 cards, i suspect the like of their competitors might only have 5 or some will have zero.

So atm the moment its a sellers' market im afraid

Hotwired · 24 Jun 2015 at 11:41

Terrible just terrible.

Retailer selling at what people will pay.

If you really gave a monkeys about saving money you'd buy it later when stock levels mean prices are forced down.

Or not at all. That'll teach them. I mean you.

Legend · 24 Jun 2015 at 11:42

You can't REALLY blame OCUK... they only do it because many people are willing to pay. It's nothing more than smart business. I would never pay those prices myself, but others glady will. If no one did, OCUK wouldn't do it, simple. For some people, it's almost a badge of pride, and for others sheer desperation for new shiny shiny bling bling... "look what I paid through the nose for, I'm the best!"...and "I want it now, no matter what, I will pay ANYTHING"... ridiculous, but it's human nature.

Very true. As much as i like buying from OcUK, its worth shopping around for day one releases as prices can and do tend to vary quite a bit with OcUK sadly gouging a bit.

For the sake of the people who are actually buying this card I really hope they have much more than 30

Just a guess but Gibbo said all stock will go in under one minute. I suspect that means not many..............

How many cards can you sell, in under a minute?

Well IIRC AMD did say stock for the first 6 months of the Fury X would be severely limited.

The only way they have a chance at all of getting away with that, is if the card is something amazing. If its poor limited stock will destroy their sales.

Some one told me last night that apparently AMD only had ten review samples for the EU. Now that *could* have something to do with why they told Kitguru to get bent. Not that I blame them of course, some of his accusations were pretty wild and far from the mark !

I'd bet that had Titan X and 980ti not come out AMD would have severely delayed this. It almost feels like they are buying time as it is.

Now add a cooling adapter and AIO. You're looking at another £80 easy. Then try fitting that lot into some ITX cases...

I think the price is more than fair, even at £650. If it even comes close to a Titan X at £300 less it'll be a winner.
